Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt. Leave the skins on or peel them, based on your preference.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or sticks for consistent cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Spread the seasoned potato pieces onto the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, use a spatula or tongs to flip the potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes for the final 5 minutes of baking, allowing the cheese to melt and become slightly crispy.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
